Thayer's Notes:

a
Maj. Wilson's full name is from Heitman's Historical Register and Dictionary of the United States Army. The year of his birth is from the Official Register of Officers and Cadets of the United States Military Academy, 1871, where he is listed as having been admitted to the Academy on July 1, 1870 at the age of 21 years and 7 months: he was thus probably born in December, 1848.

b
According to Heitman's Historical Register and Dictionary of the United States Army, Cadet Wilson had served in the Union Army in the War between the States as a Private and Bugler, Company K, 2nd West Virginia Infantry, from Dec. 1, 1862 to Dec. 4, 1865.

c
From the Official Register of Officers and Cadets of the United States Military Academy, 1871
(see my previous note)
he must have been 53 years old.

Fort Bayard was primarily home to an Army tuberculosis sanatorium.
